As for comments on the tender, the Cobham bid was 10 Mil per annum more expensive than the stated budget in the tender. If the actual budget was that high then no doubt we would have had a fleet of new aircraft, not second hand jets.
Does anyone want to take about the problems with sensors, integration and comms, including the bits of kit that have not been provided as promised such as VIDAR and cell locate. These teething problems are probably going to be solved, but at this stage implentation is 12 months behind schedule.
Turning up for a SAR is one thing, doing what you said you can do is another. A bit early for a pat on the back, you have a long path ahead of you Cobham.
